| Abstract: | A poster presentation regarding risks involved in diminished patient access to medication. Introduction: “Access to medicines is access to life”. Availability, accessibility and affordability have an impact on the ability of the patient to obtain the essential medication. Locally, access to medications depends on two independent markets, the public and private sectors. Aims: • To analyse the Maltese patients’ access to medicines, including the in- sights of health care professionals and to highlight the associated risks in- volved. • To consider the various measures utilised, such as existing web systems and free medicines entitlement schemes. • To propose innovative ideas in order to improve the local scenario. |
